Darn you Ikea:
so easy on the wallet,
so hard on the soul.

Okay, so Ikea haiku may not be the Next Big Thing. But Mykea might be!

This clever collective lets you design custom photo decals (or any artwork) to cover up your bland, standard-issue Swedish furniture.

Upload a photo, use their template to make it fit your Ikea furniture from the Malm to the Billy bookcase and they’ll send you the decals to transform “meh” into “meee-yow!”

It’s a radically new way of displaying your photos. Think of all the photographic splendor that has yet to grace your room and/or office — the gorgeous snap from your trip to Maui, the badass pic of you and your BFFs, or the sweet mural you shot the other day.

And as a bonus, there’s no more need to be embarrassed when you watch that scene in Fight Club.
